THE annual convention of the Ohio

THE annual convention Of the Ohio
Agriculturlsts met in Columbus on
Wednesday. The following resolution
was passed: Resolved, that we, the
members of the Agricultural Society Of
Ohio, in convention assembled, do most
heartily indOTse the effort of the women
Of the State to secure law that shall
require the mature Of alcohol and other
narcotics aud their effects on the human
system to he taught In our common
schools, and to this end we do respect
fully petition the Legislature to enact a
law this winter that shall make this in
structiOn compulsory, no! only in grades
where physiology ia regularly taught,
but shall reach all pupils In all schools
under public control and be Rs thor
Oughly and Systematically taught as
other branches that are considered nee
essary in the education of the child"

Eec1aiming Waste Lands.

In his new report on the work of the
geological survey, Professor Powell esti-
mates that there are 100, GOO square miles
of coast lands in this country made value
less by foundations, which, by the use Of
proper means, can probably be placed
among the richest agricultural lands in
this country. His department is now study
ing the swamp lands and marshes of the
Atlantic coast to ascertain the practica-
bility of reclaiming them. In view Of the
prospect that all the agricultural land now
available in the United States will be occu-
pied by 1895, the recent surveys of waste
lands in the Mississippi valley, along the
Atlantic coast, in western New York and
in other states, are of special Importance.
The New York state survey reports that
it is perfectly feasible to turn the great
swamps in Niagara, Erie, Orleans and
Genesee' counties, which are now waste
and malarial tracts, into healthful and
prosperous farms. Twenty-Five thousand
acres in the Oak Orchard basin alone, now
subject to constant overflow, can, accord
ing to our state survey, be thoroughly re-
claimed at a moderate cost. Waste tracts
like those which exist in the western part
of this state, in parts Of the Mississippi
valley, and in the now worthless district
of 1000 square miles in North Carolina,
between the James river and Albemarle
sound, were drained in northern Europe
centuries ago, and are now scenes of human
industry, and among the most fertile por-
tions of the continent.
For fully 100 years the drainage Of the
Jersey meadows, embracing some $4,000
acres, and now notorious for coarse hay,
big mosquitoes, miasma and occasionally
snipe. has been the pet project of scientific
men. OF late years, Professor Cook, the
state geologist, has had plans prepared for
the carrying out of this scheme, and as the
state has sanctioned the work, it is be-
heved measures will be taken early in the
spring to drain these meadow lands. This
work is urged as much for sanitary pur-
poses as for the agricultural value of the
Improvement.

Fence Posts INSIDE Down.

There are many farmers who believe
that fehce posts set upside down will last
longer than will those set the same way
as the timber grows. This idea probably
originated from the theory that moisture
would not have the same effect upon the
tissue Of the wood when it was inverted
as would be the case when fixed in its
natural position, There may or may not
be something in this, but with ordinary
oak fence posts it would be quite counter
balanced by the inconvenience Of having
the smaller and generally more sappy
part Of the post fixed in the soil. An ag-
ricultural writer who has had large exper-
fence with oak posts prefers having these
sawed and fixed in the came position as
the trees grew, especially when the logs
from which they are cut taper consider
ably, which they are liable to do.

A sTATIsTICIAN who ls quoted as high
authority on Che Industries Of the coHn-
try makes the statement that some sixtv
syndicates have formed In Boston, New
York, Philadelphia and Chicago for Che
purpose Of prosecuting large railroad
and manufacturing enterprises, MANY
OF them Of vast character. Railroad
building has begun on a scale Of unpre
cedented magnitude. Already 1,2OO, 600
tons Of rail have been sold, equal to ia
600 miles OF track, and only 100000 tons
remain unsOld. Prices Of rails have
advanced from $34 to $37@3S.

ROOT CUTTER.

AT A is seen the hopper, which is made
without bottom The slide contains a two
edged knife, and runs in grooves, c. G., in the
top of the frame close to the bottom of the
hopper. Near the bottom of the frame is
a roller, r, into which is fitted the handle,
H. This is connected with the slide by
the rod, r. The knife should be about
four inches wide and one-quarter inch
thick, be placed diagonally in the slide,
leaving half an inch space between it and
the bottom of the slide. When using the
apparatus all that is necessary is to move
the handle to and from the hopper 1t
works easily and quickly, is durable, and
with fair usage is not likely to get out OF
order.

ADAMS NEEDLE.

Yucca dlalnontOsa, though common in
the southern states, deserves to be planted
more generally for lawn ornalnentation.
This beautiful plant says as good author
ity as The American Garden, is quite hardy
and aIso of the easiest culture, growing in
almost any soil, though slightly preferring
one Of sandy and porous nature. The
erect, branching flower spike comes from
the heart of the plant and often grows to
more than mans height, bearing hundreds
of creamy white and very SNOWY flowers,
Some species Of this genus, however, are
not hardy enough to Withstand our north
ern winters out doors, and may be grown
in pots or tubs and kept dormant in q
frost proof cellar through the winter.

Adams Needle or Spanish Bayonet.

Yucca tilamentOsa, plant that delights
also in the names of Adams Needle and
Spanish Bayonet, has excited during the
past year much admiration in the Capitol
park of Washington, D. c., where it is
planted in large groups, making most
gorgeous display.

Send Them to School.

From the Minneapolis Journal:. -
Tho report of the secretary of tho in
terror shows that among the Indian
tribes there are about 10000 children o1
school age. For their education the
government provides school accomoaa-
tlons for about IA O00.'
The work done in thess schools. arG
especially at Hampton and Carlis)a, has
shown very plainly that the young In
dians can be civilized. It is cheaper
to. educate al Ap1che boy while he is
young than to shoot him when he is
grown.Experiencs provss that one. ol
the other of these alternatives is pretty
likely to be resorted to. But why not
provide aecomodations for the. whols
40, ,0002 We cun wellafford to spend tho
money necessary to take and keep these
children from their homes long enough
to fit them for earning a living by crea.
tive industry. When that isloncs done
the allotment Of land in seyeralty will
soon complete what these schools have
begun, and the Indian question will dis
appear once for all. Such an ending
will be rather more to our credit thar
the mixture Of duplicity and stupidity
that have characte rized a good share o.
our Indian policy thus far. -
